sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 4:29 pm The Japanese written language uses Chinese characters, but they have also added 60 distinctly Japanese characters to the overall character set. Those 60 extra characters are very obvious when examining common Japanese script, but I have never seen any of those 60 extra characters on Japanese cast cash coins with the square hole.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1914 Posts	Posted 08/17/2020 05:15 am The top coin is Hartill # 22.123, very common and worth about two dollars. Left half of the next picture is upside down and badly worn, looks like Xian Feng tong bao (1850 or 1851 to 1861), Guilian mintmark, Guangxi province, Hartill # 22.823 or a poor quality local type 22.824. Another very common coin worth two dollars in good condition, but maybe one dollar or so as seen. Edited by Albert 08/17/2020 05:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
